Dark ruby color. Nose of red berries, earth and flower notes. May have less acidity than previous vintages on the palate, it does give a good fruit concentration and a real yummyness. Want more and this wine is good now, so don’t wait! Very good+ (90)

Pierre-Marie Chermette Fleurie Poncié 2014 

Dense ruby color. Nose of red berries, dried flowers, spices and old wood. Intense palate, very young feel with cherry pit, flowers and lots of spices that adds a little bite on the finish. Medium acidity level, a little rustic and harsh for now, ageing shows even if not from new barrels and for a long period of time. I could say that the wine is not in a dumb phase right now as better days are ahead, and with some air it is enjoyable from now. Will be much better though with some cellar ageing. Very good+ (90)

Made of Gamay from a sloped plot of 4,5ha. Aged 6 months in old oak barrels. Alcohol level of 13%

Available at the SAQ for 25,70$ (Code SAQ : 10837314)

Pierre-Marie Chermette Coeur de Vendanges Beaujolais 2014

Slightly purple ruby color, seems quite dark for a Beaujolais. Aromas of homemade strawberry jam, spices, earth all in a complex nose. Serious on the palate with fruits flavors, good amount of spices and a good acidity level. Finish with a touch of caramel. Feels like it is above its Beaujolais rank. Is it because it’s made of centennial vines? A fact is that I like it! Very good+ (90)

Made of Gamay come from a 1ha vineyards planted of centennial vines. Aged in 5 to 10 years old oak barrels for 50% of the wine, the other part being aged in large old oak cask. Alcohol level of 12,5%

Available at the SAQ for 22,90$ (Code SAQ : 11865211)
